Meeting the Queen

[Signit Sonata]

(Invite Only for now)

A moonlight square of light,
a bloody secret is hidden,
Waiting for the seeker,
to do what is bidden.

Ark sighed and climbed into the tree. I wonder if she got my invitation he thought, watching the night sky. He had been out here waiting for about 15 minutes for the Queen of the Vampires and he was anixous<sp?> for her to arrive. His black and red cape that was clasped around his neck blew softly against the midnight breeze and slowly, he began to relax.

[Tianna]

Upon receiving a little silver envelope with the words ~ Tianna Valentina, Vampire Queen ~ written with a fancy font on it's front, and an invitation to a destination Tianna had very rarely visited, the Vampire Queen decided on venturing out of the lair for one of the occasional times in her undead life. She really did need to get out more.

With her old victorian attire draped over her curvy form, cream trills and lace rustled the forest floor behind her as she moved, steady as the wind that carried her dark curls over her shoulders. The majority of these were ribboned in a supportly styled bun atop her skull, though the frequent escape of a curl was more than necessary for nature to compliment her undead existence.

Her hawk-brown eyes glazed the foest darkness with a searching look, the invitation hadn't been signed, and Tianna was excited to find out who had sent it to her. As she picked up her skirts and moved with ease and born grace, her eye caught the flap of a cape in a tree.

Stopping immediately she dropped the skirts of her dress and looked up with a thoughtful gaze. Could this have been who sent the letter? Perhaps she shouldn't have come, perhaps it was a trick. Inside Tianna knew it had been an excuse to leave the lair for a night, to open her mind to a new place. She glared through the shadows at the figure, her perfect sense of smell telling her that this was in fact a human boy.

Tianna kept silent, she couldn't help but feel he was watching her, although she could see him very well behind the trunk. Instead she waited, she knew he would move sometime, and she did have forever.

Ark sighed. "I guess she didn't get it." he muttered dismayed. He lightly dropped to the tree branch, and glanced around. "She must not think it's important. He remembered pain-stakingly picking out a silver envelope, hoping it caught the Queen's eye. Now as he thought about it, he should've picked gold.

Ark let himself slip off the branch, hanging by his legs. "I wonder what she looks like. Probably pretty and old fashioned. I wonder how old she is...." his voice trailed off as his neck began prickling, feeling an unknown gaze resting on him. "Who's there." he demanded, flipping to the ground, his red eyes scanning the trees for the unknown watcher.

[Tianna]

Tianna stepped back as the boy swung down and hung off the branch by his legs, her chocolate eyes sporting a look of amusement. Not a moment later she was dissolving herself backward into teh shadows of the tree trunks and their canopies once more, her gaze still fixed on the boy.

"Why I could ask you the same question." She spoked formally, her voice accenting manner and etiquette; clearly a schoolgirl to a strict upbringing. Cocking her head to the side, a dark curl bobbing on her shoulder, the vampiress let the moonlight catch the white in her eyes and she blinked.

Reaching up to loop her finger around the curl of hair she stepped forward into the moonlight, raising her skirts with the other hand so not to dirty them on the forest floor. The trim of her skirts afterall was adorned in the finest white lace, gosh how she loved these garments. So, ladylike, and posh.

"Oh, Hello Tianna." He said, dripping into a bow. At that moment his mind registered the fact the he could be one word away from her praise, or being strung up on a tree by his large intestines.

Standing up again, he noticed how formal and ladylike she was. Not at all like the other Vampires. Realizing that he was staring at her, he blinked and turn away.

"You look.....Beautiful, Tianna. I honestly didn't think that you would come." he said, truthfully, turning to the Queen.

[Tianna]

Tianna lowered the skirt of her dress and neglected the lock of hair by her cheek, simply to cross her arms over her chest loosely. Flattered at the stranger's bow, she swept her hand to one side and displayed a gentle cutsy, returning the act of polite acknowledgement, though she couldn't say she knew who he was.

She smiled at the compliment and her fangs shone with an oddly sinister gleam in comparison to the rest of her, and it was then they parted from her lower row in order to let her speak. "Thank you kindly, and I can't say I had anything better planned." She said briefly, raising her eyebrows in a sigh.

"May I at least have the name of my stranger?" She asked smoothly, locking her gaze with his as she studied his red eyes with a calculating shine. "And, perhaps the reason you wished to meet me here tonight?" She added, smiling gently, and this time keeping her assets hidden behind plump mahogany lips.
